Workshop Schedule

Day 1 (Saturday): 10am-5pm

We will meet Saturday morning where we will introduce ourselves to the group and I will give a brief presentation talking about the fundamentals of street photography. Before we head out on the streets to shoot, I will give you specific assignments and tasks that will make you push your comfort levels in approaching and interacting with strangers.

I will accompany you side-by-side when shooting street photography, helping you gain your confidence and also giving you tips & tricks on what to look for when shooting. There will also be a focus on how to shoot street photography in a sensitive way. In addition, I will also give you technical advice on the best settings to use on your camera for street photography.

Day 2 (Sunday): 10am-5pm

On Sunday you will have more time to shoot street photography in the morning, to catch the beautiful golden light. I will continue to help you incorporate design & composition into your photographs on the street and how to capture the light.

After shooting on the streets, we will return to the workshop location and I will give a presentation on editing & workflow in Adobe Lightroom 6. I will give you many tips & tricks to go through your images efficiently, how to choose your best images, and how to post-process your photos into beautiful black & whites and vibrant colors.

You will choose your best images from the workshop and present them to the rest of the group. You will be given constructive critique & feedback on your images rather than the shallow “Nice shot” or “What lens did you use?” comments that you might get on Facebook and Instagram. Many people who have attended my past workshops say this is the most rewarding part of the workshop.

What You Will Learn

After attending this workshop, your confidence of shooting in the streets will go through the roof, know how to anticipate & capture the decisive moment, and have greater visual literacy to better critique your own images.

One thing I also want to let you know is that this is not just a street photography workshop. It is a chance to build a community of friends and passionate street photographers that will last far after the workshop is over.

Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to have fun, improve your skills in street photography, and have an experience that you will never forget.
